HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 c228W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will indicate the date on which a map was handed by his Department to the Irish Government showing training camps; and what official reply has been received from them in response thereto.

Mr. Amery

I have been asked to reply.

Maps showing training areas and the locations of Irish Republican Army Active Service Units were handed to the Irish Government on 25th May. A number of maps have been presented to the Government of the Republic at regular intervals since the beginning of this year. The other relevant dates were 20th January, 2nd March and 20th September. Apart from an undertaking, to have them carefully studied, there has been no formal reply from the Government of the Republic. A further map was presented on 9th November.
